Movies and series usually show certain aspects of everyday life in a rosy light, which can modify our perception of reality. So when something like that happens in real life, it has absolutely nothing to do with what we see on screen. A clear example is how the film and television industry represents pregnancy and childbirth. They are made to look like either the simplest thing or so terrifying that the very idea makes our skin crawl.

Shopping from home is easy. We go online, find what we’re looking for, pay for it, and then wait for our package, all from the comfort of our homes.

Although most of the time everything goes well, sometimes we open the door to find something unexpected, as it happened to the following people.

During pregnancy, your uterus alone has to expand nearly 500 times its size in 9 months and then go back to its original dimensions. It’s not as if the brain is spared either, as many women even report memory impairment and confusion during pregnancy. But even so, many of us willingly go through it a second or even a third time. But remember, each pregnancy is different — the second one even more so.

Apps have become more and more a part of our everyday routine to the point that some are indispensable. Why spend hours in a store when you can see all the items directly on a screen in the palm of your hand? Even better: just type in the name and find it in a matter of seconds. However, it’s yet to become a perfect science. A lot of “messes,” wrong purchases, and funny situations happen in this environment.

Nowadays we can order absolutely anything, even peacock eggs in order to grow your own bird. And no matter how trusted the company is, we often open delivery boxes with some kind of awe and a pinch of worry because we never know for sure what is waiting for us in there.

When we buy a product online, we expect to have it delivered in one piece. Perhaps to ensure that the items arrive in perfect condition, manufacturers may go so far as to pack them in such a way that when you open it, you feel like you’re receiving a new tech-gadget when you actually just ordered a new set of batteries. In fact, you can even see this “excess packaging” trend in supermarkets when you want to buy a simple potato and it’s wrapped in plastic, or when you just want to get some parsley and you stumble upon chopped parsley on a tray. What’s going on with the world?
